PewDiePie responds to critics calling him a \u201chypocrite\u201d for 7 year old Reddit post YouTube: PewDiePieDuring his May 18 upload, YouTuber Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg responded to claims he was a \u201chypocrite\u201d after viewers uncovered a seven year old Reddit post of his. The Swedish star explained to fans why his views have changed on making content. With over 110 million subscribers in 2021, it\u2019s hard to imagine a time when PewDiePie wasn\u2019t the king of YouTube. A decade later, the content creator has changed dramatically from his humble origins in Sweden. Pewds had to face an old message he had written from the past when viewers dug up an old forum post. The 31-year-old hit back at those calling him hypocritical and explained why his feelings have changed over time. PewDiePie responds to being called a hypocrite PewDiePie fans stumbled across a Reddit post the YouTuber had written years ago about why he wouldn\u2019t hire an editor for his videos. In the old post, he wrote \u201cI feel like I\u2019d be cheating my fans. My videos would lose a huge part of \u2018me\u2019. I want to prove that even with the biggest channel on YouTube, you don\u2019t have to have a lot of money. As long as you have a camera and a passion, you can go as far as you want.\u201d During his May 18 video Kjellberg responded to the resurfaced post and said, \u201cI think I stayed true to that. Especially considering how most YouTubers run their channel. Yes, I don\u2019t edit my videos anymore, obviously. But I also wouldn\u2019t be able to upload nearly enough for this amount of time. So it\u2019s a trade. I don\u2019t know if this was meant to put me on the spot, but I think I stayed true to myself and this idea.\u201d However, after reading some of the comments, Pewds saw that one viewer had called him a hypocrite. \u201cI don\u2019t think I [look like a hypocrite]. I\u2019ve talked about it and I\u2019ve talked about how my view on it has changed. There\u2019s no way I would be able to upload as many videos for this long of a time if I had edited myself. It just isn\u2019t feasible,\u201d he exclaimed in response to the critical fan. (Topic starts at 5:35) Pewds went on to reveal that he actually misses editing his own content. \u201cBut in a lot of ways too, I miss editing. I think I added a lot to my edits in the past. Not to say Sive didn\u2019t add a lot either. He\u2019s added a sh*t ton. But it comes from two different people, and that will always be different. It\u2019s just how it is.\u201d He again defended his channel as mostly being run by himself compared to other creators. \u201cLook where most YouTubers how they run their stuff. Now they have producers, writers, editors. This WHOLE team. It\u2019s almost getting more and more like actual big productions.\u201d PewDiPie went on to clarify that he has nothing against channels that are more produced. \u201cThere is nothing wrong with that either. There is room for both,\u201d the YouTube star argued. Editing aside, Kjellberg is the most followed individual content creator on the platform \u2013 so he must be doing something right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
